Systematization of the analysis of the co-design factors and its outcomes for the study area

Co-design factor Analysed aspects Determining aspect of design (implications) Outcomes
Urban landscape configuration

• Analysis of public space

• Existing green networks

• Constraints due traffic

• Current use and functionality of spaces

• Potential location for implementation NBS

• Available areas

• Type of NBS

• Construction and safety regulations and standards

Location of placement and sizing:

Implementation only in public spaces conserving actual areas i.e. green verges of streets and green area in riparian zone

Dry-weather runoff drainage

• Runoff pathway

• Collection and transport of runoff

• Identification of greywater discharges to gutters

• Optimal adaptation to the existing drainage configuration

• Construction and safety regulations and standards

Adapted design:

Adaptation of technical hydraulic features to profit from existing infrastructure i.e. inlet and outlets of prototypes

Social acceptance

• Perception of NBS in urban areas

• Perception of greywater as a runoff

• Willingness to change existing public space

• Landscape design features

• Type of vegetation preferred

• Type of NBS accepted

• Location of NBS on private or public land

• Type of vegetation

• Landscape design

Type of NBS:

Limited to subsurface filtration systems due to bad perception of surface flow (mosquito breeding & odours)
